Jude Law, Age 11, Delivers Scathing 101 Dalmatians Review in Resurfaced Clip

On November 14, 2025, a resurfaced video from 1984 revealed that a young Jude Law, then just 11 years old, was an insightful film critic on British television. In the clip, Law appeared on the BBC's Breakfast Time program to review some of the latest movie releases.

While Law said he did enjoy parts of Disney's 101 Dalmatians, he had some significant critiques of the classic animated film. "You could tell from the very beginning it was all very predictable," he told presenter Fern Britton. "All the way through, you knew what was going to happen."

However, Law did praise certain aspects of the film, noting that he liked "the way, from the very beginning, the animals actually called the humans their pets." He also found humor in the different accents used by the adult dogs and young puppies.
